It's so important for dancers to continue to sharpen their technical prowess because it will translate into their performance of varied choreography. The time you devote to your technical training will ultimately set you up for future success as a dancer.

Hip Hop dance refers to street dance styles primarily performed to Hip Hop music as part of Hip Hop culture. It began as a free-style of dance in the 70s including the basics of Breaking, Locking & Popping & was not performed to counts, rather “battles†. It includes a wide range of styles including jazz funk. Most new styles have infused urban party dancing with studio technique. They involve a lot of footwork, radical movement & emphasis placed on musicality.

An intro to tumbling class for our 4 - 7 year olds who have a desire to flip & tumble to a jazz number.

Tumbling is a fusion of the artistic motion & technique of dance & the athleticism of acrobatics. It is important to note that Tumbling is not Acro-Dance nor is it the same as Gymnastics therefore there is a need to teach tumbling skills differently than Gymnastic skills. Dance training is essential for Tumbling. In Gymnastics training, dance is secondary but in Tumbling, skills are expected to seamlessly be incorporated into dance. That is why we strongly encourage that students take either Ballet, Jazz, or Hip Hop in addition to Tumbling. We include turns, jumps & leaps and mainly contemporary technique in tumbling. This style is normally performed on a hard floor without mats (we use mats) while gymnasts have the advantage of a sprung floor giving more cushion on landings and height for more complex tumbling. The classes include many strength & flexibility drills to allow our students to perform skills safely & correctly. Flexibility is extremely important for tumbling.
